The EU sacked its crusading grandstanding duo of Margrethe Vestager and Thierry Breton before the U.S. election, so it’s not entirely or even mostly about Trump. They’re just coming to their senses that a radical DMA interpretation isn’t going to change these companies, it would just turn the EU into more of a technological backwater than it already is.

Oh boy, you Americans. And you wonder why you're hated so much.

You have enough troubles yourself. We'll be fine in our EU, thank you very much.

@marc_v_b If this new report is true, you will be fine, because you’re walking away from this DMA nonsense.

@gruber

I understand that Americans think it's nonsense, because they want to do what they want, but DMA is a highly necessary regulation to protect Europeans.

The DMA protects European consumers and entrepreneurs, ensures more competition and convenience in digital markets and regulates better supervision, for example on mergers and acquisitions.

DMA is not good for American companies, but it is good for the EU.

It is very touching that Americans are worried that the EU will be left behind because of this, but rest assured: everything will be fine with us in the EU.

I would be more worried about January 20th.
